Opinion of the Court
There was no specific instruction prayed for,, and no specific exception taken below or in this court. We-are therefore left to collect from the whole of the Judge’s charge and from the record, whether there was any error.
Only two questions seem to be involved:
1. Whether an indiscriminate assault upon several is an assault upon each individual ? Very clearly it is.
2. Whether when a gun is fired by one defendant, andl the other is present aiding and abetting, the shooting may be charged to have been done by both ? The act of one is-the act of both, and it may be so charged.
Let it be certified that there is no error.
Per Curiam. There is no error
